Grades PreK and Up

Motivate your students to develop and improve their social skills with "Ask & Answer" Social Skills Games. To play, you ask social skills related questions (found in the handy activity booklet), and the students answer what they would do in these situations. Players cover their "picture cue" game board spaces with colorful foam tokens as they play. First player to get three in a row wins!

"Ask & Answer" Social Skills Games target six different skill areas

Politeness

Solving Problems

Staying on Topic

Requesting Information

Initiating Conversation

Feelings

Each of the six skill areas has four game boards, allowing one to four players to engage in the fun. Each board includes nine realistic photos that provide excellent visual cues for the targeted social skills.

You not only get 24 playing surfaces (12 game boards printed front and back), but you get an activity booklet that provides four relevant social skill questions per picture. That's 216 questions in all! The questions are organized, making it easy to match the question to the board number, letter, and row on each student's game board. The activity booklet also contains a number of reproducible activity/homework sheets for additional social skills practice, as well as awards.

Need to adapt the boards for those students who have difficulty paying attention to nine pictures? Use the foam squares to cover a desired number of pictures prior to playing.
